So I have that error when it starts up and it says “RDSEED32 is broken disabling the corresponding CPU bit”

I noticed today that AMD has already patched this but what is the easiest and beginner friendly way to update it on my machine? I run fedora.

I was hoping it would be some update within Linux but so far no dice as according to this page from AMD the update has already been issued. (https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7055.html)

I know windows is usually the easiest way to do these things but I would be willing to learn a little bit (within my technical limits) to avoid using it for this.

And if I DID have to use windows, right now I’m using LUKS encryption so isn’t that like a monster to add windows into without messing stuff up?

I am very beginner on command line stuff but can navigate through files and stuff like that.

What’s the best move for this?

    I have not I guess this is step one? I was hoping to figure out a way to do it within fedora somehow but I will look into updating the motherboards firmware first then.
